RE I cant view/download PDF files since installing sp2

[lee smith]

Help ive recently downloaded service pack 2 to windows xp and it wont let me
view PDF Files online. Ive been to the manage add ons box from the tools
section but when i highlight adobe reader like it tells me to, the box that
originally
gave me the option to enable/disable says this add on is controlled by the
administrator, which i guess is me? And the update active x button stays
shaded.
Im running Norton Internet Security 2002 but have had no problems
viewing/downloading
PDF Files before.

P.S. I have no problem viewing PDF Files that are already Stored on my
computer on or off line.

Thanks in advance for any help.
